You're both correct of course, which brings into play the angle of some loon, and/or some collateral damage via the government's method of going after someone b/c of some "data" that suggests somebody (even a citizen) was talking to what was believed to be a terrorist. See what I'm getting at fellas, it's not all that different from what's being discussed about the NSA stuff.

What are the odds of either of those two examples you both suggest? A million to one?

We all have different levels of trust, with different types of people and authority.

It would never work. Spitting cobras love me.

FTR, I could give a shit about these guns. I'll bet in 10 years not a single person dies at the other end of one of them. If some hilljack wants to drop 27 grand on a remote control gun to shoot watermelons off of poles at 1000 yards...hey, knock yourself out.

Why would I sharpen my own skates? I'm not even around the skate sharpener when I get them done. I'm busy looking at $200 sticks and being happy that I don't play anymore and don't have to worry about buying a new stick and breaking it on my first shift.

Now why did you have to go and drag Texas into this? Almost as many backward ass redneck fucks per capita as Ohio. Plus, if you want a nice dose of leftists, then you have Austin - easily one of the top 10 cities in the country. Conversative or Liberal, one thing about Texans - they ALL own guns.

CDT, you would love it here. Seriously.

Good points on 41, 43, and Govenor Goofball. Nevertheless, gotta appreciate a state that still thinks it's an independent republic. Border towns might get a bit hairy, but I was in El Paso recently and no one takes the violence as a big threat. Most of the gang related stuff is all in Mexico.

If it does come this far north, almost all of the Texas populace is well armed
